Salon@615 with Evan Thomas - Author of Ike's Bluff

Start: 02/28/2013 6:15 pm

Timezone: America/Chicago

Please join us in welcoming award-winning journalist Evan Thomas for a special discussion and signing of his book Ike's Bluff. He will appear in conversation with local author Jon Meacham, as a part of our Salon@615 series.

“With grace, insight, and originality, Evan Thomas has written a brilliant and engaging book about the most important of subjects: how close we came to Armageddon in the seemingly placid 1950s. Thomas’s Eisenhower is a canny savior, a president who kept the peace through feint and bluff. No one writes more astutely or more honestly than Evan Thomas. This is the work of a master of storytelling at his best.”

Salon@615 presents bestselling authors free to the public through a unique partnership between Nashville Public Library, Humanities Tennessee, Parnassus Books and the Nashville Public Library Foundation. Together, we nurture and celebrate the literary life of Nashville by presenting author talks and book signings to our community.

Since its inception in early 2011, Salon@615 has become a regular and vital author reading series on Nashville’s cultural calendar.

This event will be hosted at Montgomery Bell Academy's Dead Poets Room at 6:15.
